Hi Vikas,
Try setting 'SIMTIMEPOLICY' to 'REAL'.
When I'm doing simulations, I generally use the following settings:
SERVERMODE SIMULATION
SIMRESOURCETRACEFILE traces/tracefile # this should be your resource
# trace file
SIMWORKLOADTRACEFILE traces/jobfile # this should be your workload
# trace file
SIMTIMEPOLICY REAL # use the times from the workload
# trace file
SIMFLAGS IGNHOSTLIST # ignore the hostlist from the
# workload trace file
FWIW, I can't find documentation for the SIMTIMEPOLICY setting *anywhere*
(I found it by reading the source code!), but I've found it seems to do
the trick. I also found (some time ago) mentions to some library that
could be used to enable this, but couldn't find that library! However, I
don't think its actually needed provided you set the SIMTIMEPOLICY to
REAL.
HTH,
Jim
P.S. I'm not /entirely/ certain that this works correctly!
P.P.S. Assuming I *am* correct here, does anyone in control of the
documentation want to add this to the Maui docs?
